Councillor Alexander Clark was elected to the Port Chalmers Borough Council in 1903, and is a member of the Water, Baths, and By-Laws Committees. Mr. Clark was barn in Dunedin, in 1887, and was educated at the William Street and Arthur Street schools. After several years' apprenticeship to the plumbing trade, with Messrs Clark and Thomson, Ducedin, he removed to Port Chalmers, and entered the employment of the Union Steamship Company as a ship-joiner, an occupation which he still follows. Mr. Clark is a member of the Dunedin branch of the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners, and was for many years an active member of the Alhambra Football Club. He is a Past Grand officer of the Loyal Prince of Wales Lodge, 5254, Manchester Unity Independent Order of Oddfellows, Port Chalmers, and has been connected with that institution since 1893. Mr. Clark was married, in 1893, to a daughter of Mrs M. Osborn, an old resident of Port Chalmers, and has three sons and one daughter.
